The Center Is Not Where You Think It Is — Make Your Bed
Fox News nails Trump budget chief: 3.4 million jobs have been added during Trump’s 19 months, but that’s fewer than the 3.7 million during Obama’s last 19 months. And as noted Friday: Inflation-adjusted wages rose a quarter of a percent per year under President Obama, but have DECLINED under Trump.
Billionaire Nick Hanauer argues: “Democrats Must Regain the Center . . . by Moving Hard Left.”
A super-important piece every Dem should read.
I don’t agree with every word — but the gist? Right on.
I’ve previously linked to this awesome graduation speech — Make Your Bed. It was delivered by a former Navy SEAL, now retired Admiral, in 2014, long before anyone imagined that a draft-avoiding, tax-avoiding, truth-avoiding, mob-consorting, Hitler-speech-reading, Putin-praising sociopath — who had never done anything for his country — would be elected president. If you missed that speech, or even if you didn’t, watch it now, knowing that this is the guy — William R. McRaven — who penned the open letter to Trump.
You want a Democratic candidate for 2020? I can think of loads of terrific choices. But add Admiral McRaven to the list.

Quote of the Day
Governments are necessarily continuing concerns. They have to keep going in good times and bad. They therefore need a wide margin of safety. If taxes and debt are made all the people can bear when times are good, there will be certain disaster when times are bad.
